If you’re like me, you feel the weight of the world in your being.    If you’re like me, you tend to feel other people’s emotions.   If you’re like me, you’re an empath.   What is an empath?   In a general nutshell, an empath is a person who has the...

Everywhere I look, I see “Happy New Year!” plastered in my inbox and across social media. But we’re 3 days in to the new year and what if… you’re not happy?    Off to a bad start, eh?   Here’s a thought...   Don’t try to be happy this year.    Better yet,...

I’ve been noticing a trend in my inbox - people reviewing their successes, lessons and failures in the past decade. Me? I don’t remember what I had for dinner last night, let alone what happened in the last 10 years. But on this final day of 2019, I woke...

Yesterday, I wrote a “nice” gratitude post listing 7 things I’m grateful for. Today, I promised you a “naughty” one.    This is a difficult list to write, but once you master the art of writing this type of twisted list, you free yourself from the painful...

My 16 year old stepdaughter goes to Saugus High School - the very same school where a 16 year old boy, on his birthday last Thursday, opened fire with a .45 caliber handgun in the school’s outdoor Quad and shot 5 students before turning the gun on...

I want to be lovingly (or brutally - you choose which word is accurate for you) honest with you today. Not that I’m not honest with you every time I write, but today, let’s get down to the core of how I really feel about your feelings.    The truth is: I...

I’m so excited to be able to offer you a recording of my session at the Evolutionary Empath Summit with The Shift Network. This is one of my favorite interviews with one of my favorite topics - becoming an empowered empath! In this 30-minute audio session, I answer...

  [UPDATE: this event is over but you can listen to my talk here.]   Last week, I invited you to join me and an exclusive gathering of visionary empaths, sensitives, and intuitive leaders and teachers — including Dr. Judith Orloff, Grandmother Flordemayo,...

  [UPDATE: this event is over but you can listen to my talk here.]   A few weeks ago, I mentioned an interview I did with a major network where the host asked me, “What’s next for the evolving empath?” This has been brewing in me for the past couple of...

Photographer: Susan Werner People have been asking me, “Tree, are you alive?” Yes. Very much so. I haven’t consistently published new blog posts in months and my social media accounts are so quiet, even introverted crickets stay away. Last year, I wrote...

I recently did an interview with a major network where I talked about being an empath, feeling deep emotions and how to transmute them. I’m sworn to secrecy about the details of the interview for now, but I’ll be able to talk about it later this month as...
